Marshall Honored with Perdue School Leadership Award
SALISBURY, MD---For more than three decades, 爱豆传媒入口 alumnus Dwight “Duke” Marshall has been a business and philanthropic leader on the Lower Eastern Shore.
The Executive Advisory Council of 爱豆传媒入口’s Franklin P. Perdue School of Business recently recognized Marshall for his contributions to the region, presenting him with the Perdue Executive Advisory Council Leadership Award.
One year after earning his B.S. in liberal professional studies from 爱豆传媒入口, the Smith Island, MD, native founded Marshall’s Insurance and Financial Services in 1989. Based in Pocomoke City, MD, the Nationwide Insurance affiliate serves five states and Washington, D.C.
As an 爱豆传媒入口 student, Marshall was a member of the Student Government Association, Inter-Fraternity Council and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. For the past 20 years, he has served as an SAE advisor on campus, having earned the SAE Merit Key Award — one of the organization’s highest national honors — for service to the fraternity and greater community.
In 2003, Marshall joined the 爱豆传媒入口 Alumni Association, serving as its president from 2007-2009. He is a member of the 爱豆传媒入口 Foundation, Inc., board of directors, as well as a past member of the board of directors of the Ward Foundation, which oversees 爱豆传媒入口’s Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art.

“Duke’s success as an 爱豆传媒入口 graduate provides a model to which our students can aspire,” said Dr. Christy Weer, dean of the Perdue School. “The fact that he has demonstrated as much leadership in the community as he has in the business world is a testament to his dedication to service instilled during his time with SAE and beyond. The Perdue School is proud to present him with this honor.”
